#Cargobike riding, mom of 4, living in the #carcentric suburbs of Edmonton using #activetransportation and #publictransit while avoiding being hit by drivers. Even in winter.

Also a lawyer, but don't hold that against me.
The irony is not lost on me that the best car free place to enjoy holiday lights in Edmonton is the Alberta Legislature

Made it home without studs!

A little icy in places… but worth it. #yeg is beautiful with a dusting of snow- its captivating.

Winter cycling isn’t extreme.
It’s just… cycling, but better scenery and stronger core muscles (iykyk).

Same roads. Same joy. Different seasons

First snow ride of the season

Snow in my lashes. Ice in my brows.

Nothing makes me feel more alive…except my ride home tonight without studs.

No women, no safety

Women on bikes are the indicator species of a city’s cycling health.

If you don’t see many of us, it’s not about lack of interest — it’s about safety.

An unexpected detour made me mad for a minute but then I realized I could just enjoy more time on my bike.

Day 11 of the #CarFreeChallenge2025

Normal Thursday errands: school run, daycare, commute, extracurriculars, even a haircut.

All by bike.

Swap a few car trips for bike trips and life stops being stressful and starts feeling fun.

Day 10 of the #CarFreeChallenge2025

Biked to a school board forum tonight; one way was 12 km instead of 7 km, because riding the Henday or Ellerslie means zero bike infrastructure. Safety, not distance, is what stops people from choosing active transportation.

Day 9 of the #carfreechallenge

Took the kids on an errand between Calgary Tr & and Gateway

No bike Lanes, just four lane car sewers and the sidewalk.

Sidewalk riding is illegal in Edmonton, but sometimes it's the only choice.

What would you do?

Day 8 of the #carfreechallenge2025 - listen for Sir Squawk's statue finding.

I cannot tell you how much more I learn from the kids in the bike in front of me vs them sitting behind me in a car.

Bike time=connection time

Day 2 of #carfreechallenge2025 has car miles travelled leading bike miles traveled. Will the bike miles catch up by the end of the challenge?

Tired of being stuck in #traffic? If you live in one of the many parts of #edmonton that's under construction, you might be really frustrated right now.

There are alternative options to being traffic. Just take a look outside the windshield.
